What is MKV?

MKV (Matroska Video) is an open-standard container format that can hold virtually unlimited video, audio, subtitle, and metadata tracks in a single file. Created in 2002, MKV is popular for storing high-quality video with multiple audio tracks and subtitles.

MKV supports every major video codec (H.264, H.265, VP9, AV1) and audio codec (AAC, FLAC, DTS, Dolby). However, Apple devices and software have limited MKV support, making conversion to MOV necessary for Apple workflows.

What is MOV?

MOV is Apple's QuickTime video container format, the native format for Final Cut Pro, iMovie, and other Apple video editing tools. MOV supports H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and Apple Animation codecs.

Converting MKV to MOV ensures your video files work seamlessly in the Apple ecosystem — from importing into Final Cut Pro to playing on Apple TV and sharing via AirDrop.
